(( Continuationg from THIS log. Because my new lap sucks and makes this mun want to snatch the old one away from her father. :/ ))It had been a rather normal morning for Iroh; well, as normal as it could get on Luceti. The only different thing he had noticed about this particular morning was the no one had decided to drop by his store for a cup of

Aang heard footsteps and took a short jump back, putting his arm in front of Zuko protectively. The other boy's paranoid attitude had him feeling jumpy. He immediately remembered his manners, though, and tried to assume a more neutral position.

"Um..." he said, trailing off out of nervousness. "Um, excuse me, my name is Aang and this is my friend Zuko. Can you tell us where we are?"

Zuko heard the footsteps too, taking a defensive position as they waited for the stranger to show up. But when he saw who was it he blinked and tilted his head to the side, a wide smile forming on his lips almost immediately. "Uncle!" He cried happily as he ran towards the older man, hugging his legs, ignoring the other boy for a moment. "Uncle, I'm so happy to see you! I thought I was kid- kipdaped! Where is this place? Is it on the Earth Kingdom? How did we get here anyway? Did you know there are still air nomads around?! Aang is one! Why is your hair all gray now? Where is Mother? And Azula? Did they come too?"

Iroh was still shocked by the change his nephew and Aang had went through. It quickly clicked on his mind that this probably was another of the Malnosso's doings. At least it wasn't too bad nor they seemed to have hurt his nephew again.

He smiled warmly down at Zuko, instinctively kneeling down to get at his eye level. "My hair is all gray because old people gets it's hair bleached." He started explaining, winking at his nephew. "And I'm afraid I'm the only one here; your mother hasn't arrived yet, nor your sister." He sighed. Well, now the next part was going to be rather difficult to explain. "This place is called Luceti, and as for how we ended here... Well, that's another story; but please do keep in mind that you're safe here." He looked at Aang and offered him a warm smile as well. "But now, aren't you hungry? I'm sure your little tummies might be grumbling by now, sleepy heads." He said playfully and poked at his nephew's stomach as in to prove his point.

...Aang decided that he liked Zuko's uncle. He smiled. Something about the old man reminded him of Gyatso - even if he had told that goofy lie about the air nomads running away or whatever.

"I want some juice and a fruit pie!" he chirped, and then corrected himself. "I mean, um, yes, sir," he said more respectfully.
